Big Phony is the stage name of singer-songwriter & actor Bobby Choy ( Ktown Cowboys ). I completed this interview with him on August 3rd, 2010. I first saw you on Ktown Cowboys .

Skye Edwards is the lead vocalist of recently reunited Morcheeba , a British band which fuses electronica, trip-hop, and alternative rock. I completed this mini-interview with her on July 28th, 2010.  It's brief, as she answered the questions while still on tour. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How are you enjoying being back with Morcheeba, and what made you decide to reunite? It was a tough decision to return to the band but after meeting with Paul and Ross and then hearing some of the ideas they were working on I decided to give it a go. It's been great to play Morcheeba shows. What was it like spending all those years apart from your band mates? It is cool being a solo artist. I learnt a lot about song writing and enjoyed collaborating with other songwriters and music producers. I will continue with my solo career. What's it like being part of a band again? How does it work (for you)? It's okay, it's working out fine.
